Many, having bought PUBG, did not really think about the nickname and entered any word and just a set of letters, just to quickly enjoy the gameplay. However, after playing a little, users understand that the game is fire, and the nickname is not for everyone. And so the search begins on how to change your nickname in PUBG.
Not finding the answer in the game, people go to thematic portals. This is how a large number of posts, publics and manuals appeared on how to change your nickname.
What the developers say
And immediately you can disappoint everyone who wondered - at the moment it is impossible to change your name in PUBG. The developers, of course, promised to introduce such a function, but they never did it. As the developers themselves note, the functions of replacing the nickname are far from the main priority. There are so many shortcomings and bugs in the game that require urgent processing and fixing.
What is the difficulty
The problem is hidden in BattleEye - a special system for combating cheats and any other changes in game files (by the way, reshade is legal, so you can use it). BE is not related or affiliated with Steam in any way, as it needs a user ID.
As for Steam, there the user has a name and login, which are shown in the game. PUBG is not allowed to use such data. Therefore, he asks to enter a login during registration.
And here is the difficulty - in order to solve the problem and change the nickname in PUBG, you need:
- Shovel the BettleEye base;
- Make war with the creators of the game;
- Come up with a new nickname and enter it.
In other words, until the developers themselves come up with a method and introduce it, changing the nickname will not work.
Distributors
You can buy PUBG not only on Steam, but also on Mail.ru to play on domestic servers. Each player will be given a vest and isolation from the global gaming community for this.
The catch is that the game purchased from distributors from Russia has nothing to do with Steam, so they won't be able to take the name from there. But any nickname there is hammered into the BattleEye unique naming system, which further complicates the registration procedure for new users.
A quick way and a few tips
The nickname in the PUBG game is registered during character creation at the very beginning of the gameplay. You can change the player's appearance, you only need 3000 BP, and with a nickname, as already clear, there are many problems. If it is not important for the user, then you can create another Steam account and purchase the game again. But for those who act faster, there is a less expensive way - if the total playing time is not more than 2 hours, then you can request a refund. But you still have to buy the game.
There are some other tips:
- Take your name (nickname) and add a few numbers, but without vulgarity and dangerous dates;
- Use one word created from several others;
- Go to the site with the generation of nicknames.
Output
To be honest, the nickname for PUBG is a delicate topic, because the juicy and popular have been busy for a long time, and the rest will have to improvise. At the same time, you need to remember that the nickname cannot be simply changed or the old one cannot be deleted along with the game.
